<p>When deploying to WebLogic, some developers report problems with the framework locating resources, especially with Velocity. For more about WebLogic and Velocity, see the <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-velocity/VelocityAndWeblogic">Velocity website</a>.</p></div></div>
<div class="confluence-information-macro confluence-information-macro-information"><span class="aui-icon aui-icon-small aui-iconfont-info confluence-information-macro-icon"></span><div class="confluence-information-macro-body"><p>To deploy to WebLogic, the common approach is to create and deploy an unexpanded WAR to the WebLogic deployment directory. With WL 8.x, the deployment directory is typically at <code>&lt;bea_home&gt;/user_projects/domains/mydomain/</code>.</p></div></div>

<h2 id="WebLogic-Addinganstruts-velocity.propertiesConfigurationFile">Adding an <code>struts-velocity.properties</code> Configuration File</h2>

<ul><li>In the <code>struts.properties</code> file (usually kept in the <code>WEB-INF/classes</code> directory), add an entry that specifies a Velocity configuation file.
	<ul><li><div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeHeader panelHeader pdl" style="border-bottom-width: 1px;"><b>struts.properties</b></div><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
<pre class="brush: java; gutter: false; theme: Default" style="font-size:12px;">
struts.velocity.configfile = struts-velocity.properties
</pre>
</div></div></li></ul>
	</li></ul>


<ul><li>Create the corresponding Velocity properties file ("struts-velocity.properties"), preferably in the same location as the <code>struts.properties</code> file.</li></ul>


<ul><li>Copy into the Velocity properties file the contents of the <code>velocity.properties</code> file that is the the SAF <code>velocity-dep.jar</code>.</li></ul>


<ul><li>In your new <code>struts-velocity.properties</code> file, find he section titled  "<code>T E M P L A T E  L O A D E R S</code>", and change this section as so:</li></ul>


<div class="code panel pdl" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent pdl">
<pre class="brush: java; gutter: false; theme: Default" style="font-size:12px;">
===========================================
resource.loader = class

file.resource.loader.description = Velocity File Resource Loader
file.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.FileResourceLoader
file.resource.loader.path = .
file.resource.loader.cache = false
file.resource.loader.modificationCheckInterval = 2

class.resource.loader.class = org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader
class.resource.loader.cache = true
===========================================
</pre>
</div></div>

<ul><li>Redeploy a fresh WAR to WebLogic.</li></ul>


<h2 id="WebLogic-NPEwhenusingStruts2JasperReportsplugin">NPE when using Struts 2 Jasper Reports plugin</h2>

<p>When using mentioned plugin in Weblogic 11g you can get NullPointerException within Struts 2. To solve the problem you must enable the "Archived Real Path" global property in Weblogic admin console &gt; configuration &gt; Web Applications. It's because JasperReportsResult determines the report directory base on servletContext.getRealPath(finalLocation).</p>

<h2 id="WebLogic-Conventionbasedapplicationdoesn'twork">Convention based application doesn't work</h2>

<p>When you deployed an application that base on the Convention Plugin and you get an error messages that says:</p>

<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<pre>There is no Action mapped for namespace / and action name xxxxxx
</pre>
</div></div>

<p>create struts.properties file in WEB-INF/classes folder (in the expanded application's folder or in the source code) with below statements:</p>

<div class="preformatted panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="preformattedContent panelContent">
<pre>#struts convention property modifications for Weblogic
struts.convention.action.includeJars=.*?/yourwebapp.*?jar(!/)?
struts.convention.action.fileProtocols=jar,zip
</pre>
</div></div>
